Intelligent vehicle validation and next-generation testing took center stage today as Testing Expo China – Automotive opened at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, bringing together automotive engineers, testing specialists, technology providers and industry experts for three days of technology showcases, technical presentations and networking.
The event is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, marking two decades of bringing the automotive testing and validation community together in China. The milestone comes as the industry undergoes another major transformation, with software-defined vehicles, AI-powered driving systems, electrification and increasingly complex validation requirements reshaping vehicle development.
Across the exhibition floor, visitors are exploring new technologies for intelligent vehicle development, data acquisition, simulation, HIL testing, autonomous driving validation, NVH and electrified powertrain testing.
Dewesoft – High-speed data acquisition and open testing architectures
Dewesoft is showcasing solutions spanning ultra-high-speed data acquisition, power hardware-in-the-loop, autonomous driving and NVH testing, alongside open testing architectures designed to support increasingly data-driven vehicle development and validation.
“Testing Expo China – Automotive is an important platform for communication in the automotive testing field and an important opportunity for us to share the latest technologies and application practices with industry partners,” said Fu Bin, marketing director at Dewesoft. “We look forward to exchanging ideas with automotive manufacturers, component suppliers and testing experts, and exploring new data-driven approaches to automotive R&D and validation.”

Technology Presentation Stage – Day 1
The Technology Presentation Stage got underway today with a strong program focused on intelligent vehicle validation, attracting visitors throughout the day for practical insights from testing specialists and technology providers.
Among the highlights, Xi Ruixuan from China Automotive Intelligent Technology (Tianjin) explored the development of mainstream intelligent driving systems and how testing technologies need to evolve alongside them. Before that, Foretellix examined the transition from physical AI datasets to coverage-driven autonomous driving validation, highlighting the importance of measurable and systematic approaches to validating increasingly complex AI-powered driving systems.
The afternoon program turned to best practices for testing advanced technologies, with sessions covering new-energy vehicle R&D, power HIL, intelligent measurement, embodied AI and the increasing value of test data.
One of the key themes emerging from the program is the need to connect increasingly sophisticated vehicle technologies with testing methods that are scalable, measurable and capable of handling the complexity of modern vehicle development.
More to come
The exhibition continues tomorrow and Friday, with further technology showcases and technical presentations covering electrification, powertrain testing, emissions, measurement, NVH and advanced vehicle validation.
On the 20th anniversary of Testing Expo China – Automotive, visitors can explore the technologies shaping the next generation of vehicles and the testing solutions helping to bring them safely from development to production.
